This was the first Terry Pratchett book that I read and it blew my mind. I can't compare this book to anything related to fantasy,it's an extremely original story that parodies both mystery and fantasy stereotypes.

It takes place at the bizarre world created by Pratchett,Discworld: a flat world standing on top of four elephants,populated by every single fantasy creature that you can imagine. The way Pratchett writes about every creature is extremely clever and hilarious.

On this book captain Sam Vimes of the nightwatch have to investigate the murder of a noble, this will be an extremely difficult task given the fact that murder is legal (there's an Assassins Guild).

If you're looking for a good laugh this book is ideal,totally recommended.
